You can always order labels for your business, but this may not be an option when you are traveling. A mobile business does present some challenges. Label makers can ship orders to you. Unless your destination is obvious and you know where you are going to be, and when, a delivery is out of the question. However, there are practical labeling systems you can take along for the ride.
There are industrial handheld labeling systems, which can do for any contractor or business that needs professional labeling on the go. Messaging can be read directly on the display, and laminated labels can be printed and perfected using automatic imaging settings. These labels look as professional as can be so your business can show its true worth even if on the road. The lightweight design makes it easy to take on a job site, but also offers convenience if you need a light and compact labeling solution for your RV.
There are a number of small label printers that can be tucked right into a corner. A small thermal transfer printer that can fit on your desktop may suit a variety of labeling applications. Being only a few inches wide helps as well.
However, you don’t always need much, or any additional clutter at all. You might do just fine with a standard printer, and download an app specifically for printing labels. Such an app doesn’t even cost anything; you can link it up to a wireless printer in your mobile RV office and have just what you need. Automatically finding local wireless devices, it includes pre-designed and custom labels. You can even print an address label or name badge from the system. The program also lets you print out various types of common labels from your mobile device.
Labeling is an important task for businesses. You may just need your address for an envelope, or want to print a business card without paying for an extra service. A small operation may be exempt from Food and Drug Administration labeling rules, but a compact labeling machine or printer will still be good for your business while on the road. Still, you should research all the applicable rules based on the type of business you are running. Mislabeled or unlabeled packages can put you at risk for liability
Regardless of the type of label or system, you are using, focus on your brand identity regarding the message and imagery. Your customers and clients will also look at the materials, so try to get the highest quality materials that won’t tear or cause ink to smudge. Color and product differentiation are things to have in mind as well because the label can help your business stand out from others. Just because you are traveling and have a corner office space in your RV, doesn’t mean you cannot keep up with stationary operations. In fact, you can compete and even outperform them. The market is flooded with products and software that will mean being mobile won’t even make a difference in how your business looks to others.
